rebalence tower placements

[404Owl]

So lately, ive been playing more td. Something ive noticed is that a lot of people just dont seem to get the idea that u shouldnt put archer towers etc on 5x5 plots. I think there should be a fix so 3x3 towers cant go on 5x5 plots. I would also like to suggest that if a player has left the game, their towers be destroyed. I've seen a lot of people just put archer towers on all the 5x5 plots and then just leave the game. I've been reporting, but it still really ruins the game :(

I think this suggestion would be great for people who don't know how to play the game but for a lot of people who know how to play the game the most strategic way to defend sometimes is to place 3by3s in 5by5s and vise versa, so I somewhat agree with your first point on 3by3 not going on 5by5 and 5by5s not going on 3by3s but I don't think it would be a good Idea at all to make a person who leaves Towers disappear because;
they could be the only one that placed and actually defended (only one that knows how to defend) there for the team would not only be at a player disadvantage but have less towers too

I'm a bit iffy about this one simply because this video by @CrystalDrop kinda opened my eyes to the idea of "responsibly" placing 3x3 towers on 5x5 spaces.

This is for the 5x5 spaces that also have 3x3 spaces behind them. Now for the single 5x5 spaces on the map these should be solely restricted for 5x5 towers since there is no good reason to place a 3x3 tower there.

I would also like to suggest that if a player has left the game, their towers be destroyed.

There used to be a system on The Chunk where you had to option to remove the towers of players that left the game which i honestly like better than outright removing them upon leaving the game.

Yea that would also work. Maube the tower is a high lvl zeus tower or something like that

First of all, you are still able to remove towers of players that left the game, you even get the sell coins for doing so which is nice.

On the actual topic of the post, there are definitely plenty of strategies that involve placing 3x3 towers on 5x5 squares (as shown in the video above), mainly because there aren't enough 5x5 towers to start with. There's only 3 different towers and one of them can only be placed once. Plus in the early game, all of these towers are relatively expensive and on maps like Perilous where there isn't much space at the very start, it's better to place something there to handle the zombies and spiders than just leave it empty. Usually this tower can be replaced later on when it's worth buying the more expensive tower anyway at the cost of only 100 coins or so thanks to the 60% sell price. Maybe if there were more towers to place in these squares and the archer tower "bug" gets fixed, this might be able to happen but for now there isn't a good enough reason to fully lock out other towers. Now on the other hand, for placing 5x5's on 3x3s, I can't think of any reason to do this considering that any of the towers right now are not as good as the 4 (or even 6 if placed badly) towers you can place there, even at full upgrades. While a lv3 turret might be better than 4 lv1 archers, it definitely isn't as good as 2 maxed archers a sorceror and a zeus, so maybe 3x3's can at least be locked out of, plus it can fix placing towers incorrectly and trolling with lv1s by placing off center. Of course, only exception would be the 15x8 areas with 5 3x3s and 3 5x5s in which this may work a bit differently. Anyway that's my thoughts, thanks for reading my massive wall of text on this!

Really? You can? I must’ve been looking at the wrong towers because I was unsuccessful at doing this

Im gonna go ahead and say no, TD atm only lacks maps diversity, but regarding mechanics its fine.

True. But it still needs solo.

Yes Zig, this screenshot should show this. You can see that the player left, and that I can sell it (the barrier icon shows up)

agree with you on destroying towers after leaving the game.

I would prefer to give us (the whole team) access to the tower so we can destroy it or upgrade any paths.
